Next Validator Suggestions

DAO
1

In the DAO Call of 10/01/2023 it was suggested that DAO members should recommend/suggest the next validator the DAO should use to delegate the 2030+ SOL.

Example:

Validator: Laine :heart: stakewiz.com
Website: Powering Solana - Laine operates Solana nodes on Mainnet and Testnet
Commission: 5%
Slot success rate: 96%
Stake: 1.12% (4,294,100SOL)

Suggestions and recommendations will be closed 14/01/2023 at 12:00pm UTC (Saturday).

A poll will be made afterwards in :mortar_board:┇dao Discord channel with the suggested recommendation and it will finish 1 hour after the DAO call starts so a discussion around the suggested validators can be made.

I’d choose Laine or Cogent - but there are some others in the list worth consideration

I think we shouldn’t overcomplicate this decision.
Cogent Crypto and Laine both have my confidence.

Thanks for the overview, again :heart:

I’ll also vote for Cogent. They are working hard on their validator reliability and are very transparent about what’s going on.

In the Sunday poll multiple choices will be available so DAO members that like multiple validators can also vote for different ones.

Following the DAO Discussion & Poll, decision was made to split the SOL and delegate 50/50 to 2 Validators: Laine & Cogent following 25%+ vote for both.
